Southland Boys’ remain favourites to retain their Southern Schools Rugby Championship title.
They comfortably dispatched St Kevin’s 62-7 in Invercargill last Saturday to complete the round-robin phase unbeaten.
Southland Boys’ have secured pole position for the playoffs and will host John McGlashan in the semifinals.
They have set the benchmark all season and are chasing a third consecutive banner.
King’s beat John McGlashan 38-12 last Saturday and will host Otago Boys’ in the other division 1 final.
Otago Boys’ crushed Southland Boys’ 2nds 65-12 in Invercargill in their final round-robin.
But two weeks ago, they were beaten 31-17 by King’s, who built their win around scrum dominance.
The safe money is on a Southland Boys’-King’s final. — Allied Media
